1.1 Examples of equality, diversity and difference in my home setting of responsibility. Here is how the three headings have an impact with my client group:
Equality – A service user wishes to attend a college course, he has a learning disability and is aged over 55 years old. He has never attended a college course before and would like to go to this one as it is photography and he has his own camera and would like to take it to the course.

Improvements to equality have been enforced by the following: Sex discrimination Act 1975, disability discrimination Act 1998, and equality act 2006.
